GaDhi Mera

main tha aur phul the ek gosha-e-tanhai mein

hum se kuchh dur parinde bhi the gahrai mein

nil-gun aasman shaffaf nazar aata tha

bahta pani bhi bahut saf nazar aata tha

dhup thi tez magar dil ko bhali lagti thi

wadi-e-sabz mohabbat ki gali lagti thi

chadaren oDhe hue laDkiyan hairan si thin

mere ham-rah wo ek KHwab-e-pareshan si thin

baat karte hue hanste hue Dar jati thin

surKH phulon ke simaTne pe bikhar jati thin

jism se dil ke talluq ka hawala bhi na tha

khoi chizon ko koi DhunDne wala bhi na tha

har taraf guzre hue waqt ki KHamoshi thi

yaad ek yaad na thi sirf faramoshi thi

KHatm hoti hui ek sham adhuri thi bahut

zindagi se ye mulaqat zaruri thi bahut
